Caller ID (For Singapore and
Hong Kong)
7
The Caller ID feature of this machine lets you
use the Caller ID subscriber service offered
by many local phone companies. Call your
telephone company for details. This service
provides you, by means of the screen display,
the telephone number (or name) of your
caller as the line rings. (See Printing Caller ID
List on page 44.)
After a few rings, the screen displays the
telephone number of your caller (or name, if
available). Once you answer the call, the
Caller ID information disappears from the
screen, but the call information remains
stored in the Caller ID memory.
You will see the first 16 characters of the
number or name.
ID Unknown display means call
originates outside your Caller ID service
area.
ID Withheld display means the caller

has intentionally blocked transmission of
information.

received by your machine.
Caller ID service varies with different
carriers. Call your local phone company to
determine the kind of service available in
your area.
